She Imd actually forgotten to talto u | > her own offspring. Only one-halt ot the articles loft an trains arc claimed and returned to owners , rebuts ho Chicago Tribune At all the rallroid > (11 ( cos In Chicago there arc to bo found mat ey collections of about nil the articles which man or woman ever owned , H would bo mposslblo to list them 1m a whole page ot t newspaper , The article which figures most extccialvelj among the lost and found of the big rail , oade U the umbrella. An ofilclal of this Illinois Central ai > s he lecclvcs In the bni ; < ; ago department 1,500 timbrellis n > car. Icncral Agent Sadd of the lltiillngton says his lecords show aloiit 600 a > ear , and the other lines report largo collections of thU serviceable article , which U left on trains In all kinds of weather. On n recent line , sunshiny day the Burlington railroad ehowca on Its rccotd a whole page ot abandoned um brellas. Next come the overshoes , which are dally found , slngl ) and In pairs , and oftentimes odd In size and kind. At all the offices they arc accumulated to the e\tcnt of baircls and barrels. It Is a common occurrence to nnd upper , lower and partial sets ot falsa teeth. Some give evidence of long service , Qthcts have been too nuw and have been "laid out" to give relict llut they come In all shapes and sizes. Wearing apparel In largo quantities Is to he Aauud In Iho lost patcel rooms. Tlio clerks In the Alton's quarters at the u.nlon station fitted out a dummy figure with every sLcglo article that a inin Is likely to wear from head to foot , The articles \\eio all left piece b > piece on the tinlrs and satlicred up by the emptov.es until the figure was togged out In newest fashion. The joung woman stenographer In Bag gage Agent Sadd's office has a pet kitten which waa found In an envelope box on a train , and , thoio having been no clalmsuit , joung "Tom" is being taught to earn his boaiO ly mousing In the hnggago room. Cripples frequently loivo their crutches on trains. Theio is a collection of them nt all the offlces. Hanging up In the parcel room of the Illinois Central Is a big anchor inn'le of moss gathered from ticcs In the far touth. The maker had taken cnio of It until Chlcaro was reached , only to abandon It to the caie of the parcel man. It Is safe to say that the largest department store In Chicago contains no article tint can tot bo found In one or another of the Chicago lallroads' unclaimed pircel rooms The rail- loads have dllt'ient method * of taking tare and keeping track of the stuff. That of thu Illinois Central seems to be the most elab orate. A casoof boxes , thirty-one In number , Is labeled one box for each day of the month Into a box H placed all matter found on all the tialns on the corresponding date. When "No. 31" fa reached box No. 1 Is emptied nnd the articles carried to the baggage store room and thus the filling and emptjlng goes on 3in times a jeat. Each article Is tagged , showIng - Ing the date and train on which it was found. The tugs arc all numbeted consecutively , bo that a record and description ot each article can he had. A stub of the tag Is pi luted on a receipt to bp signed by the claimant If le- clalmcd. A feature of their plan Is that a pet feet iccord Is kept of the smallest nm' most Inconsequential parcel. There are a cer tain number of tags , and In each case the company has either the parcel or the tag Sales of unclaimed paicels are made once a jcai. The whole accumulation ot one year Is "bundled. " Two or moro email packages are lied in one , which Is sold all the way fioni 25 cents to 75 cents. Umbrellas are put up ii dozen packages , and sold at whatever they will bring , the work of Belling being let out to the auction house with which the best bar gain can bo made. Many valuable articles are found on trains. H. A. iW'nterthe , veneiable assent cf the Illinois Central , i-aya a. shoit time ago a pocketbook containing n quantity of money was tuined In by a train crew. T'ho ' svimo ( lay a woman Identified the purse bj stating that It contained oome old coirs , which itic described. The property was turned over to her , and she was scaicely out of ithe office when another woman appeared and asl.ed for the same pocketbook. It turned out that tie first woman had heard the second clilnnnt , wlio was the real owner , bewail her loss , during which she told what the book con tained. Thereupon she him led to the baggage - gage olflce , claimed the article , cud gave a vacant lot au her street aJdreao "I have no doubt , " said ilr. Winter , "that the woman was an adept at that sort 'of business. "The porter on a Chicago & Al'on train once handoJ General Baggage Agent llunt- Ington a long side-pocket ; wallet , from vvhloh were taken a card and an annual pass. I was about to lay the find to one side tem porarily , when I vvas Impelled To icok closei , end I flancd out three $100 bills. We located the owner from the pass end retui'jed ' fc ; book before he had discovered his loss. 'At another time one of our men picked up a pocketbook from a coach ccal box. We figured that a thief had extracted It from the pocket of a passenger , and , finding nojh- Ing there , had thrown It Into the coil box. It ) contained papers by whloi we located the owner In en Iowa town , and I wrote him a > nd asked him If ho had lost 'anything recently. Ho answered that he had lest his pocketbook , with certain papers and $40 In two Lllls. I wrote him wo had the book and pa'pers , but no money , I searched and researched the wallet for ( | : e caah , but It was not to bo found , and I returned the book by express Hu wrote , acknowledging the receipt , anil said : 'I think you are , the poorest detective I ever saw , for my money was in itho pockot- bcok , but you were not able to find It. ' Tiieie bad been ono receptacle In the book which had utterly escaped my notice , and It con tained the two $20 bills. " General Agent Sadd of the Burlington re lates that a passenger left a box of clgais In the rack above the seats. The man vv.io occupied rtho next seat , aa one of the com pany's detcctlvco afterward learned , took the box and gave It to the brakeman , who turned It in. Then tiio occupant of the second scat sent his wife to the office , described the prop , erty and got It. "All the passenger agents agree that there U & . class of people wto are aluaja last to leave the cars for a purpose. This Is es pecially noticed on suburban trains ) . They go from ono end cf itho train to the othci , looking In scats on bath s'/les of the car. It Is impossible for our men to bo alwajs on the natch , and presumably there are many losses that can never bo reclaimed.

The country up there was In Iho possession of prairie dogs and gophers , One of the school sections wag literally coveien with them , and the rest of the neighborhood vvas little better. Mr Wells eent owl about flvo years ago for eomo ferrets He received about 300 of them taH turned them loose. I was out there the other day , and there was not a dog or a gopher on the school sect'on. ' These fen eta have cleaned them oft f clean as a whistle , and off other sections also. They strike a piece of land covered with pests , and never quit until It Is cleared. They are sure death , too. Just a nip In the throat and the prairie dog Is co more. "Tho ferrets work straight ahoid , and are cleaning off'sectlon after section. They will continue the good work until there la not one left to tell the talo. So far tlio fcrreto have not beoa destructive to the ranchmen's crops. I suppceo after they have cleaned up all the prairie dogs and gophers It will bo necessary to leak after the hen houses , but that will bo a long time yet , ind In the meantime the ferrets are doing better and surer work than all the exterminators advertised.
